Harnessing Integrated Apps on the Mac

Bill Dolton, Apple Distinguished Educator

Integration of Software/Tool
Intermediate Level

Harness the power of the software already on your students' MacBook laptops to capture, coordinate, and creatively communicate concepts in the Language Arts classroom. Learn features and tips for Photo Booth, Safari, iPhoto, GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote and other Mac applications to quickly and easily integrate web resources and student work into projects that allow students to focus more on understanding concepts than the complexities of disparate applications. We will do a hands-on simulation of a project using a combination of applications and discuss application potential with your students. No experience necessary!
